The southern right whales pass these cliffs on their way to Warrnambool to have their young during winter and sometimes rest in Portland bay after their long journey from Antarctica. In summer they usually stay over night and head off to Warrnambool usually the next day, they have at times even frequented the harbour to massage the barnacle areas on the breakwaters. The krill uplift welling sometimes when it is calm is as Blue as Ink in Bridgewater Bay and also this holds one of the Biggest Marine Parks in Victoria for size.
